Slow Cooker Berry Dumplings

Method

Step by step

1. 01

   Combine berries (berry) of your choice. (For nutrition facts I’ll use multiple berries, blueberries and blackberries) with 1/4 c. flour, 3/4 c. sugar, lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a microwave bowl.

2. 02

   Place uncovered into the microwave until the berries begin to look juicy, about 5 minutes. Note: at about 2 1/2 minutes STIR.

3. 03

   Stir well at the end of the 5 minutes and transfer to your slow cooker and spread evenly in the bottom.

4. 04

   In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 3/4 c. flour, 2 T. sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk, melted butter, stir well to combine.

5. 05

   In a very small bowl, combine 1 T. sugar, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. cinnamon.

6. 06

   Grease with butter or spay with cooking spray a 1/4 cup measuring cup, and scoop 8 equal dumplings around the side of the slow cooker, on top of the berries.

7. 07

   Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon mixture.

8. 08

   Cover and Crock on Low for 4 hours.
